We had one more dinner, I was told it would be special …and it was!
Today we attended an intense Sandals Workshop to become Sandals Certified Agents. So much information – ask me about having a Butler on your next vacation; or maybe you would like to be one of the many wedding couples that have chosen Sandals or Beaches for their wedding…Imagine the Possibilites!
I spent the afternoon in the main pool, the water was like bath water, thinking I didn’t want to leave the warm, sun and wonderful service I found at Sandals. I hated to get out of the pool, with swim up bar, but we had one more dinner and I was told it would be special…and it was.
It was called the Vineyard Dinner. The room was decorated beautifuly, music was paying and each table setting had 5 wine gasses! The Executive Chef expained each course before it was served and the Wine Stewart told us about the wine for the course and why it was chosen.
